New Year Resolutions

Welcome to a new year and a new you! The world seems full of possibilities as we enter 2013 and everyone is very ambitious come January to make sure that their resolutions are met. I know that I myself have a few goals for the year to come.

The number one new year’s resolution has to be mentioned- weight loss. Weight loss is a very admirable goal, but you cannot just flick a switch and change all of your habits on January 1st. With this being said I suggest simply trying to make one new healthy recipe each week- it can be as easy or as difficult as you like. Below is a recipe to get you started, and if you want access to more delicious recipes visit http://www.ontariopork.on.ca/recipes/Recipes.aspx.

Naan Pork Pizzas

Pizza made simple, healthy and quick using naan bread and tasty toppings. Change up the toppings to include favourites that your family will love and give you variety through the week. Be sure to enjoy a crisp green salad alongside.

1. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat and saute pork with parsley, oregano and garlic for 5 minutes or until browned and hint of pink remains. Remove from heat.
2. In a small bowl, stir basil into pasta sauce and spread over naan breads. Sprinkle with pork loin mixture, broccoli and red pepper. Sprinkle with cheese and place on baking sheet.
3. Bake in 425 F (220 C) oven for about 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is browned. Cut into quarters to serve.

Tip: Let pizzas cool slightly, cut in half and wrap in parchment paper to pack in lunches and help keep some of the crisp in the bread.
